Life
Starkid Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many dimensions
And unanswered questions...
Not to mention, life
What an invention, life
There's no choice involved in what you are given
Life...
It's a short, small thing we lead
With so much potential
Pointless or essential
Which one can I be?
Where do I fit?
Where do I stand?
Who are they to say what I am?
And how can I stay inside this awful world I know?
And I need a way out
I need an escape
I'd rather be dead than to live in this place
I wish that something or someone could just take it all away
Someone take me away...
This song, "Life", by Starkid Productions is about the complexities of existence and the struggle to find meaning in it. The opening line "It's a big, big universe" sets the tone for the song, highlighting the vastness of the universe and the many dimensions in it. The lyric "unanswered questions" suggests that no matter how much we explore and learn about the universe, we will always have unanswered questions. The next line, "Not to mention, life," draws a comparison between the enormity of the universe and the mystery of life itself.
The idea of life being an invention is an interesting one. The lyrics suggest that life is not a natural occurrence, but something that was created. However, it is unclear who or what is responsible for this creation. The following lines reveal a sense of helplessness and a lack of control, with the lyric "There's no choice involved in what you are given." This suggests a feeling of being stuck in one's circumstances, with no power to change or influence them.
The song then moves into a more introspective tone with the line "It's a short, small thing we lead." This lyric suggests that life is fleeting and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but with great potential. The lines "Pointless or essential, which one can I be?" express the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out one's purpose in life. The lyric "Where do I fit?" acknowledges the struggle to find one's place in the world and the lyric "Who are they to say what I am?" questions society's tendency to place people in categories or boxes.
The song takes a dark turn with the lyric "And I need a way out, I need an escape / I'd rather be dead than to live in this place." These lines express a desire to escape the pain and difficulties of life, and the wish for "something or someone" to take it all away. The final lyric "Someone take me away" is a plea for a way out of the struggles of existence.
Overall, "Life" by Starkid Productions is a thought-provoking song that explores the complexities of existence and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.

First off: watching this made me realise how amazing Starship would be as an animated movie, especially with your art style! I love it! Second, less seriously, I found the first sentence of the description top-notch funny and relatable: "Finally done with Life"...

Mostly Animated Sketches
Starship would be perfect as an animated film, not just because it relies on puppetry so much, but also because it’s really REALLY good.
I subscribed.
